Vancouver Fringe Festival 2024

The 40th annual Vancouver Fringe Festival returns this September.

Running from September 4 to 15, this year’s festival features more 500 performers from Canada, the US, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand!



“This year marks 40 years of independent and emerging artists performing on Vancouver Fringe Festival stages,” says Duncan Watts-Grant, Executive Director of the Vancouver Fringe Theatre Society.

“This year, we’re here to celebrate artists taking risks and showcasing their work to us. These performers leave us entertained, moved and always for the better by inviting us to experience their scripts, music, magic, or dance. This year, we’re here to mark and celebrate the past 40 years and the future 40-plus years for the Vancouver Fringe Festival.”
